I love Balkon's WeaponMod and one day decided to actually find out how much damage each of the weapons do. I messaged "Balkon", but never got a reply. I also searched the internet, and though one wiki did have some of the information, it was only 20% complete and mostly inaccurate. I will be updating that wiki post soon as well, found here. (Unfortunately, I haven't tried out version 9.0, so no stats on the boomerang yet.)
Anyway, not too much to it expect to show you the stats and see which weapon you like best :-)
Oh, and the bottom of the post has some awesome videos of the weapons in action
Most of the weapons can be made of wood, stone, iron, gold, and diamond. To give a good range, but not spend longer than the many hours already spent, I tested wood and diamond only. You can hopefully average it out for the rest.
Material Weapons
Spear
Wood: Thrown or Stabbing - 1.5 hearts
Diamond: Thrown or Stabbings - 4.5 hearts
Halberd
Wood: Slash - 2.5 hearts & Stab - 3 hearts
Diamond: Slash - 5.5 hearts & Stab - 6.5 hearts
Knife
Wood: Stab or Thrown - 1.5 hearts
Stone: Stab or Thrown - 2.5 hearts
Diamond: Stab or Thrown - 4.5 hearts
Warhammer
Wood: 2 Hearts
Diamond: 5 hearts
Also has "supergroundsmash" which does damage to about a 10x10 block area
Battle Axe
Wood: 3 hearts
Diamond: 6 hearts
Blocks incoming attacks and reduces their damage by 50%
Flail
Wood: 2 hearts
Diamond: 5 hearts
When dragged on ground, still does full damage if contact with mob or PvP
Throwable
Javelin
Only one recipe: Thrown - 2 hearts & Stab - 0.5 hearts
Throwable Dynamite
Damage spreads a 5x5 block area and 2 blocks deep. Does 10 hearts (or more) in direct and only 1.5 hearts at outer edge.
Shooting
Musket (also with Bayonet)
Shot - 10 hearts (or more) at 3 block distance, at 27 blocks does 9.5 hearts, and no damage at 28 blocks.
At 3 blocks does 8.5 hearts, then does 8 hearts of damage as far as we could go. We landed shots at 185 blocks (outside of "Far" render distance and assume it could go further).
Just punching with the crossbow does 0.5 hearts of damage
Blowgun
Initial hit does 0.5 hearts and the poison does 0.5 hearts of damage every second.
Can shoot up to at least 60 blocks, but probably as far as possible, just harder to aim and test at further distances.
Blunderbuss
Damage at 5 blocks is 9.5 hearts (10 or more closer), at15 blocks is 5 hearts. The damage can go through 3-4 mobs/players spread out among 6 blocks. Also shot has a spread of 2-3 blocks on each side.
The closer to target the more shots land on one target, rather than spread. Is a shotgun, so shoots many pellets.
Other Weapons
Fire Rod
Does 0.5 hearts of damage on the hit and then the fire does 0.5 hearts of damage every 2 seconds
Cannon
Does 10 hearts of damage or more up to 50 blocks away. Has a spread of about 5x5 blocks and about 5 blocks down
I personally love these mods. Obviously, the cannon is my favorite, then the warhammer and battle axe. Hopefully knowing a little bit more about them is helpful and interesting to some of you.
Here's a quick explanation and showcase for each of the weapons:

For the trolls. Yes, I have a life, but I still find time to play games. The testing for the damages was actually a lot of fun, so it wasn't "work" to do.
Well, according to Balkon's thread, the knife "does less damage than a sword". But, according to this thread, a diamond knife deals "4.5 hearts" of damage, (which is 9 hit points) while a vanilla diamond sword does only 3.5 hearts of damage (7 hit points).
Which means than
1) Either you confused "hearts" with "hit points" (1 heart is 2 hit points).
or
2) Balkon's Weapon mod is overpowered.

Happy Gaming Everyone
I love the mod. Doesn't take away from the base game but definitely adds some fun to it!

Well thanks for the information. I'm gonna use WeaponMod in conjunction with the Invasion Mod now!
Let your anger be as a monkey in a piñata... hiding amongst the candy... hoping the kids don't break through with the stick!
We are what we eat and we are who we meet. These are not mutually exclusive.
